The response time during recording and playback is longer with MultiMediaCards
compared with SD Memory Cards. This is not a defect, but rather due to the
specifications of the cards. When using large capacity cards, some operations like
deletion may take longer.
The SD Memory Cards and Memory Sticks have a write-
protect switch to prevent image data from being deleted.
However, when the card is protected, images cannot be
recorded. If an attempt is made to record or delete an
image with the camera, the card-protected message
appears and the viewfinder indicator lamp blinks. For
memory card care and store see page 100.
If the unable-to-read message appears, the inserted card
in the camera may need to be formatted. A card used in
another camera may also have to be formatted before
being used. A card can be formatted in the setup menu (p.
64). When a card is formatted, all the data on the card is
permanently erased.
